Stephen Deutsch:
How (Not) To Become A Film Composer

The growing popularity of film music has intensified the desire of many composers to enter the world of film, tv and games music.

Martine Huvenne:
Embodiment in Sound

The Audiovisual Chord - In the first of a series, Huvenne sets out an approach to filmmaking as a composition of sound, music, speech and images. And within this approach, the embodied first person perspectives of both the listener/spectator and the creator each play crucial roles.

Martine Huvenne & Nathalie Teirlinck
The Audiovisual Chord in Fiction Filmmaking

In the third part of her series on embodiment in sound, Huvenne is joined by Belgian filmmaker Nathalie Teirlinck to focus on the necessity of integrating sound within scriptwriting, at the very beginning of a film's development. Using this type of creative strategy, sound as a dynamic movement and the superimposition of auditory and visual spaces become useful tools.

Music in Film - Part 1

These talks will focus on music in film and audiovisuals - as opposed to film music - which means they’re not only about original, composed scores, but also any kind of music present in a production. Through the two talks, we’ll explore the many functions music performs in an audiovisual work and how music interacts with the editing, establishing an interesting syntax between image and sound.

Amie Siegel, artist talk
